    GI Joe & Star Wars repro backer cards.

    Just putting this out there - I got a vintage Destro backer card from this guy on eBay....Beggars_canyon

    I don't see Mego stuff in his repository, but the Destro card I received rivals my own quality...actually, exceeds any card I ever did because he actually uses the proper chipboard.

    Plus, they make their bubbles in-house for these figures.

    I bet their Star wars cards and bubbles are gorgeous.

    Here's their eBay link-

    I've purchased a 12-back Luke Skywalker card and bubble set off him about a year ago, and when it's in the clamshell, the only way to tell it's not legit is the item number in the top left corner and the disclaimer on the back (IIRC, it's in extremely small print on the very bottom). The guy does very good work, and if you're only doing it for your own displaying and not to cheat anyone, I say go for it. This is the dude to use.

    BTW, I used two-sided scotch tape to adhere my bubble to the card as he recommends, and it looks great--you can't really tell it wasn't factory sealed unless you're really looking for it.

      I have an 85 Commando Snake Eye's sitting here so very minty mint ....., I had to purchase the card to check it out. I have a few more too, if I like what I see.

        Begger's Canyon is pretty much the pinnacle of Star Wars repro card backs!
        If I ever get the wall space, I want to buy an entire set from him and recard all my vintage Star Wars figures.

            Meant to post these a while ago, but been busy.
            I did get a couple cards from them and turned around and bought a couple figs off eVilbay. I gave like $12 for each figure. Cobra needed some black touch-up done on his feet, hands, and strips..but a good ole permanent marker worked like a champ.
            I got the bio cards with each fig and they are pictured here for scale and color comparisons.
            Sorry, my backside pic turned out a bit blurry.

            Enjoy the big pics.
